, originally ivanka trump was named as a defendant, but they said no, she is out of the case, becausehe allegations are too old, and they fall outside of the statute of limitation, and that is my best attempt to decipher what he said, and the claims to have already won were hyperbolic and flatly incorrect. >> and joey, defense that he basically summed it up in a really quickly before he went into the court the defense is trying to lay out in terms of we did nothing wrong, there are no victims, the banks love us is how he kind of ended it. what do you make of this defense argument if, and it does become central to the legal argument in court. >> yes, so, kate, remember there are two imperatives here, in the midst of a presidential campaign, so on the one hand, he has to speak to his supporters, and on the other hand far differently, he has to create a narrative to the judge. i say the judge, because there are no jury, and there is instances of the jury nullification, that we acknowledge that defendant did something wrong, but we won't find against them anyway, and this is civil and not

what that prior court said was claims against ivanka trump can't be brought in and claims prior to 2014 for transactions prior to to 2014. that doesn't mean the judge ruled that this whole case was nonsense. it just means the judge limited the kinds of evidence that could come in. he is sort of twisting the facts. prosecutors have to be careful but the president is plain wrong. >> he's playing a different game in the court of public opinion than the lawyers are playing. you have letitia james participating in that. it is confusing what he's saying. she said that her office has proven the former president committed a massive scale of fraud. she seems to recognize there's a need to point out the fraud is not in dispute. there's something else the judge is deciding. >> nothing involving donald trump follows the standard play book. what you're seeing is a prosecutor speaking out that they don't typically. again, this is not a typical defendant. now, a prior court. this court found there is fraud. what they're deciding on in the case is what the damages will be. what the trump organization w

remember donald trump, jr., ivanka, they were behind closed doors, but this is classic abbe lowell.finger to the house committees by saying we are here, we'll do this out in public, and we are going to do it out in public but as for your behind closed doors testimony, you can pound sand with that. but people in the white house think the way they are playing this, it's bringing too much attention to the issue. >> that might be true but abbe lowell understands the way the system works in washington, d.c.. house of representative does not have enforcement power when it comes to the subpoena, they can be upset about it and contempt of congress, but contempt goes to the u.s. attorney in washington, d.c., part of the department of justice and seen before these things tend to go nowhere. so, abbe lowell is banking on the congressional side of this going away. now, when it comes to hunter's court filings and the federal felonies in terms of tax evasion and other things down the pike, that is something you can't necessarily get out of in terms of a p.r. stunt like you saw today. >> john: the

contrast, by the way, that while joe biden was helping his addicted son, donald trump in the white house with his daughter ivanka was getting patents granted to her from the chinese or trademarks granted to her from the chinese while he was president and his son-in-law jared kushner was striking deals over the in gulf worth billions of dollars having people stay at his hotel just a block away from the white house and making money, so it's just absurd we would do anything but lean-in on this and show one decent man and one very corrupt twice impeached 91-felony count charged individual. i'll take that contrast any day. >> yeah, i wonder if you can talk about that in sort of the broader context in how democrats deal with republicans in this day and age. on one hand there's this strategy embraced by governor gavin newsom of california effectively -- use my own colorful language punch him in the face. go to where they are, talk to desantis, put up the bill boards, and then there's the strategy that's been embraced in previous years. again, i'm paraphrasing a little bit, but when they go into the muck, we rise above.
